Where were you when you saw this film?

I think a very interesting post for this film would be...where did you first see this film?

I'll proudly say that this was the FIRST FILM I remember seeing. I was probably about 3 1/2 years old, and my dad took me and my sister to see it at a small local theater in south Ft. Worth, TX...we were probably the only white people in the whole theater, but we all had a great time watching it...even a 3 year old like me, it has the best comedy and slapstick you'll ever find from the 70's.

So that's how I got my start as a child...no Disney films, no Bugs Bunny cartoons...just Car Wash...

Favorite line, from Lindy..."I'm more woman than you'll ever have...and more man than you'll ever be!"

I remember watching this on NBC sometime back in the late 70's.

I liked it when I saw it in '76 in Los Angeles. It has a good feeling, good music, and shows some parts of life (struggling, friendships, etc.) I could identify with at the time. I recommended it to a friend and he went, but didn't like it at all. Humor too broad, or something.

...1978, as a kid on the carpeted living room floor of my grandfather's house. Watched it on NBC with his 3rd or maybe 6th ex-wife and we both laughed our asses off!

At home today. I'm 20 minutes in & might not even watch the whole thing, even though I like many types of comedies. I was 10 when this first came out.

First saw it on HBO or Showtime in the late 70s as a 10-yr-old. Loved it from my first glance.
